Inside FDA's food failure >>> My investigation into why FDA doesn't come anywhere near American consumers' expectations on food safety and nutrition. Been working on this for months (or really, a decade?) Pour yourself a cup of coffee and read it here:

In non-Covid news (yes, there's some), @Oracle buying @Cerner is fascinating. https://t.co/7X61k6eesw EHR biz is no great shakes, yet millions of patients' health data is priceless. The deal is Act 1 in a play by digital giants to buy these data – let the ethics questions begin!

For our 6th annual Digital Health Consumer Adoption Report, we partnered with @StanfordCDH to understand how the pandemic impacted use of digital health technologies. Check out the data & learn implications for innovators, enterprises & consumers alike. https://t.co/2gFxLhoKOZ

Fabulous trial reduced loneliness, depression, and anxiety in Meals on Wheels participants who live alone over four weeks. How? College volunteers w 2 hrs training simply called a roster of 6-9 folks 2-5X/week (elders' choice) to ask how they are. https://t.co/XjzamfhCkJ

Worth the read as you make decisions on protocols for seeing family & friends in a "bubble", sending kids back to school, heading back to work etc.

Thought it was raining last night but it was just the sweet tears of private equity partners all across the country.

Excellent (and heartbreaking) thread to understand the nuances of data we're seeing.

Here's a scientist who believed that time-restricted eating (eating in an 8-hour window each day) was helpful for weight loss. He did a trial, and TRE wasn't any better than the control group. He is shouting from the rooftops that his theory was wrong. Science in action.

A must-read thread to understand the implications of ending the ACA, especially during the pandemic.

This is beautiful. Plus: Honorable. Intelligent. Dependable.

Thinking about the thing. Talking about the thing. Being inspired about the thing. Sharing about the thing. None of that is the same as DOING THE THING or BEING THE THING. I know this. You know this. Let's keep reminding ourselves real value requires stepping in the arena.

This is incredible.

Anyone out there reporting on how insurers are planning policy changes in light of COVID-19? @chrissyfarr @nic_fisher

Seems short-sighted to focus on only deaths as the measure of severity of COVID-19. As the virus is causing permanent heart, lung, and liver damage, I imagine we'll see insurers classifying it as a preexisting condition, adding further economic hardship on top of health hardship.
